Greetings, Dear Reader,
Let’s talk about chicks with … um … hold on that’s not right. Rather, dudes with … boobs?
Mentally unwell dudes in dresses. And the worst kind, actually, the kind who have bamboozled the public into voting for them.
A TALE OF THREE TRANSGENDERS
This month has been a doozy for “historic” transgenders. Specifically men in dresses who liberals elected or appointed to state legislatures.
“Abi” Boatman had a complete meltdown when Kansas voted to prevent him and other mentally ill men from going into women’s bathrooms. But that debate is old news. It’s almost vanilla compared to “Leigh” Finke.
Finke, another mentally ill man in a dress, went on a tirade just days after Boatman’s meltdown. It’s actually hard to believe this is real, but it is. Finke was objecting to age restrictions on porn. His contention was that because Trump 2.0 was so hostile to transgender curriculum in schools, the next best place for children to educate themselves was by accessing explicit transgender materials online, i.e. porn.
I am not even remotely sh*tting you. And if you think I’m being uncharitable, here is the clip.
Finke later “clarified” that his statements were taken out of context, and he merely meant to prevent “educational materials for queer kids” from being caught up in the porn definition. Fair enough, but I’ve taken a look at some of these educational materials. News flash: It often depicts graphic sexual acts. It’s “adult material” if you want to be euphemistic, otherwise known as porn.
Finally, the absolute monster of them all: “Stacey-Marie” Laughton pleaded guilty to charges of child sexual exploitation and faces potential decades behind bars.
🚨ICYMI: 'Stacie-Marie Laughton', a male who identifies as a woman and was New Hampshire’s first openly transgender elected lawmaker, plead guilty to federal child sex abuse charges last week.

Would anyone be surprised to find out his real name is “Barry”? This all sounds like something a Barry-turned-Stacey would do.
It makes me sick to my stomach.
Laughton has experienced a – one might say “historic” – ride in politics. He became the “historic first openly transgender” person elected to state legislature in New Hampshire in 2012. Then made history again when he was the first to resign before taking office when three prior felony convictions for credit card fraud came to light. He attempted to renege on his resignation and assume office anyway, but a judge barred him from doing so as the punishments related to his felonies had not yet been fully discharged.
The convicted criminal and mentally unwell man in a dress then ran again in 2020. The electorate, brains utterly stupefied on woke propaganda, saw fit to put Laughton in office, where shortly thereafter he’d start producing CP with a friend and achieve yet another historic first: “Historic First Openly Transgender Politician In New Hampshire Is Historic First Convicted Of Child Exploitation”
What is the unifying element of all these people? If you don’t already have it pegged, it’s who suffers the most as a result of their access to power and private spaces.
Aside from mental illness and inexplicable access to power, their political animus is all related to increasing the risk profile of the most vulnerable among us.
Women and children bear the brunt. They suffer the fallout. Parents who trusted schools and daycares with their most cherished humans. They suffer the fallout. Moms who just want to get their daughters changed after swim practice, only to find some guy in the women’s locker room jacking off with the shower curtain open. They are the results. They bear the indelible scars of these policies.
The toll of the deranged left’s transgender medical policies for children is hard to fully comprehend.
The discomfort felt by children and parents subjected to corrosive indignities in libraries, bathrooms and athletics.
All so the openly mentally unwell can wear yet another mask. The goal is to normalize themselves. This is normal. They want to wear the mask of normalcy.
But it’s just as immediately identifiable as their mask of femininity. It’s just like your dress and your long hair with that voice wedged in between. We all instantly know.
We see what you are, and the last thing it will ever be is normal.
